Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned to oversee groundworks associated with the excavation of a French drain around the outer walls of the Church of St Mary and St Andrew, Grantchester, Cambridgeshire, and to investigate and record any archaeological remains that were uncovered. Archaeological monitoring took place during May and June 2017. The excavation work was carried out by the building contractor under archaeological supervision. Exposed features and deposits of archaeological interest were cleaned and investigated where necessary by the supervising archaeologist. The excavation of the continuous French drain was recorded on site as eight separate trenches The excavation of the French drain trench enabled the full circumference of the church foundations to be recorded. The full depth of the wall foundations were never exposed in the works, although they were deep enough to show variations in construction. Four brick burial vaults of 18th- to 19th-century date were encountered within the French drain trench - next to The French drain trench revealed that separate graveyard soil layers exist to a considerable depth. No geological strata were observed in any of the trenches despite some being in excess of 1m deep. This suggests that the ground has been built up over centuries, partly by the disturbance caused by each new burial but also possibly by the deliberate importation of soil into the cemetery.
